Files by Google

A file manager for Android that helps you reclaim device storage, find files instantly, and share securely—all without ads or bloat.

Free up space on your device with smart recommendations. See exactly how much storage you're using across your phone, SD card, and USB drives. Get actionable insights to clear out old chat photos, remove duplicate files, clean cache buildup, and identify what's consuming the most space. The app learns your habits over time, delivering increasingly relevant suggestions to help you maintain optimal performance.

Find files faster with powerful search and intuitive browsing. Locate your photos, videos, documents, and GIFs in seconds rather than scrolling endlessly. Sort files by size to instantly understand what's taking up precious storage. Whether you're hunting for a recently downloaded video or organizing your media library, the streamlined interface gets you there without friction.

Share files quickly offline with Quick Share. Transfer photos, videos, apps, and documents to nearby Android and Chromebook devices at speeds up to 480 Mbps—no internet connection required. All transfers are secured with end-to-end encryption, so your data stays private throughout the process. Sharing has never been faster or more secure.

Back up files to the cloud or expandable storage. Move your files to Google Drive or an SD card to reclaim space on your device, or integrate with other cloud-storage apps you already use. Backing up keeps your memories safe while freeing up room for new content.

Secure your sensitive files with a separate PIN or pattern lock. Protect documents, photos, or personal data independently from your device lock, adding an extra layer of privacy for information that matters most.

Enjoy offline media playback with advanced controls. Listen to your music or watch your videos with features like adjustable playback speed and shuffle, even without an internet connection.

Built for efficiency, Files by Google uses less than 20 MB of storage, runs without advertisements, and delivers a clean, ad-free experience. The lightweight footprint means the app itself barely impacts your device performance, leaving more room for what you actually want to store.
